Just comment or PM me when you are partnered up and I'll strike out your name. Once one "transaction" is over, if you want to sign up for a different partner, I'll remove the strikethrough.
Let's keep it civil and fun!
Of course you can work out the details how ever you see fit, but if I trade with someone I see no reason we can't each cover the cost of shipping our mixtape (it should be the same each way).
OP:
I don't know if this is allowed or not, but andy. had a great idea and think it could be fun. If not then mods feel free to delete.
We could trade mixtapes based on tastes wanted. For instance I like punk, folk, "indie rock," unique hip hop/ rap, and some metal. So, I could request a punk mixtape in exchange for your requests. Most of us have our collections available to develop ideas.
This could be sender funded, requestor funded, or whatever is worked out between users. Hopefully individual transactions could be communicated via PMs and have wants/ requests posted here. I know it's KIND OF a sell-based idea, but hopefully the trade aspect keeps it friendly. Mixtapes were big when I was a kid, but this could be a fun thing amongst users. A little more old school than sending a link to bandcamp.

Funny that with cassettes being popular again there's not much in the way of storage options for them. Looking for something in the same black/brown color option IKEA uses for my collection. Anyone know anything that's being built/sold currently out there in the market?

Been waiting for this one for a long time!

So lately my cassette collection has been growing at a pretty fast rate and I want to find something to properly store them. As of right now I just have my tapes stacked on my shelf but I have a lot of new tapes incoming so I won't be able to do this for much longer. I have done some research and what I've found so far is either a little pricy, way to big for what I'm looking for, or doesn't have enough slots for the tapes I have.
I'm looking for something that is 3'x3' max that preferably has multiple drawers or shelves that I can put the tapes in. It needs to hold at least 90 tapes since my collection is growing fast and anything under 90 will fill up in no time. If its portable that would be huge since I would like to bring my collection back and forth to school. From checking other threads it appears most people have gotten lucky from going to thrift shops and finding something that is a perfect fit for what they're looking for, however if anyone has any suggestions I definitely want to hear them!

One of the best things about music is that specific styles can thrive in several different regions all at the same time. Although we can hear similarities, no two acts sound identical. Drawstring is a perfect example of a band that has taken the emo revival sound and infused it with the perfect amount of London, UK garage rock. Like the perfect cocktail of one half Grown Ups, one half Donots, with some Beach Slang and Moose Blood peppered in to taste.
This cassette is a compilation the band's first three EPs and includes a bonus track. You can hear them change and grow their sound from a more twinkly emo revival sound to a more raw and mature 'punch to the chest', similar to the Arizona 'bummer jams' sound coined by Merit and shared with similar acts like Pentimento and Dikembe. These tapes were dubbed, hand painted (with bass guitar strings), assembled, and numbered all in house. There are only 25 copies and each tape comes with the MP3s!

Recently I have looking to get my first portable cassette tape player. I've been using the family boom box for awhile and it works great but I wanted to get something portable that I can bring back and forth to school. I got a Memorex tape player for Christmas but unfortunately it wouldn't play any of my tapes. I'm not sure what model by Memorex it was since I already returned it. Today I demoed an Ion Audio Tape Express Cassette and that did not play my tapes either. The tapes I tested for both of these cassette tape players were Dance Gavin Dance - Instant Gratification and Meshuggah's promo tape for Chaosphere. Both played perfectly on the boom box and neither one is a peculiar sized tape or anything.
I am open to all suggestions as far as what portable tape player is best! I don't want to spend more than $100 on a tape player since I feel like it's not worth it for more than $100. Also if anyone has a good portable tape player for sale definitely let me know as well! Thanks for the help!
